2.8.1→3.9.2Apache Kafka Clients: Privilege escalation to filesystem read-access via automatic ConfigProvider
CVE-2024-31141 / GHSA-2x2g-32r7-p4x8
More information
Details
Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Apache Kafka Clients.
Apache Kafka Clients accept configuration data for customizing behavior, and includes ConfigProvider plugins in order to manipulate these configurations. Apache Kafka also provides FileConfigProvider, DirectoryConfigProvider, and EnvVarConfigProvider implementations which include the ability to read from disk or environment variables.
In applications where Apache Kafka Clients configurations can be specified by an untrusted party, attackers may use these ConfigProviders to read arbitrary contents of the disk and environment variables.
In particular, this flaw may be used in Apache Kafka Connect to escalate from REST API access to filesystem/environment access, which may be undesirable in certain environments, including SaaS products.
This issue affects Apache Kafka Clients: from from 2.3.0 through 3.5.2, 3.6.0 through 3.6.2, and 3.7.0.
Users with affected applications are recommended to upgrade kafka-clients to version >=3.8.0, and set the JVM system property "org.apache.kafka.automatic.config.providers=none".
Users of Kafka Connect with one of the listed ConfigProvider implementations specified in their worker config are also recommended to add appropriate "allowlist.pattern" and "allowed.paths" to restrict their operation to appropriate bounds.
For users of Kafka Clients or Kafka Connect in environments that trust users with disk and environment variable access, it is not recommended to set the system property.
For users of the Kafka Broker, Kafka MirrorMaker 2.0, Kafka Streams, and Kafka command-line tools, it is not recommended to set the system property.

Apache Kafka Clients: Kafka Producer Message Corruption and Misrouting via Buffer Pool Race Condition
CVE-2026-35554 / GHSA-5qcv-4rpc-jp93
More information
Details
A race condition in the Apache Kafka Java producer client’s buffer pool management can cause messages to be silently delivered to incorrect topics.
When a produce batch expires due to delivery.timeout.ms while a network request containing that batch is still in flight, the batch’s ByteBuffer is prematurely deallocated and returned to the buffer pool. If a subsequent producer batch—potentially destined for a different topic—reuses this freed buffer before the original network request completes, the buffer contents may become corrupted. This can result in messages being delivered to unintended topics without any error being reported to the producer.
Data Confidentiality:
Messages intended for one topic may be delivered to a different topic, potentially exposing sensitive data to consumers who have access to the destination topic but not the intended source topic.
Data Integrity:
Consumers on the receiving topic may encounter unexpected or incompatible messages, leading to deserialization failures, processing errors, and corrupted downstream data.
This issue affects Apache Kafka versions ≤ 3.9.1, ≤ 4.0.1, and ≤ 4.1.1.
Kafka users are advised to upgrade to 3.9.2, 4.0.2, 4.1.2, 4.2.0, or later to address this vulnerability.

Apache Kafka exposes sensitive information in its DEBUG logs
CVE-2026-33558 / GHSA-wf66-mphr-4c4r
More information
Details
Information exposure vulnerability has been identified in Apache Kafka.
The NetworkClient component will output entire requests and responses information in the DEBUG log level in the logs. By default, the log level is set to INFO level. If the DEBUG level is enabled, the sensitive information will be exposed via the requests and responses output log. The entire lists of impacted requests and responses are:
AlterConfigsRequest
AlterUserScramCredentialsRequest
ExpireDelegationTokenRequest
IncrementalAlterConfigsRequest
RenewDelegationTokenRequest
SaslAuthenticateRequest
createDelegationTokenResponse
describeDelegationTokenResponse
SaslAuthenticateResponse
This issue affects Apache Kafka: from any version supported the listed API above through v3.9.1, v4.0.0. Apache advises Kafka users to upgrade to v3.9.2, v4.0.1, or later to avoid this vulnerability.
